Resident Evil 0 Reviews

Should be called Backtracking evil - 0! If you really like Resident evil, try it, but never at full price! Annoying mechanics with goofy villains! If it weren't for Rebecca I'll would never play this one! I can't respect bad guys that can't spit a single line without doing a kid's cartoon evil laugh!

Resident Evil 0 is nowhere close to the best title in the series . It's not the worst... that belongs to 6. But it's not great. The item system is frustrating, vastly limiting you to what you can hold, while also requiring you to carry around large items throughout the entire game. You can drop them wherever you want, but this leads to backtracking if you want them.. And of course... the game wants you to have them. They'll often leave you ammo for weapons you've long dropped leading you to try to figure out just where exactly you left them. The story is also nothing to write about. It's a prequel game meaning anything this title will throw at you is inconsequential. It adds a little bit o' lore to Spencer and Marcus as well as a few scenes that show Wesker... and Birkin in a more sinister tone. Which while Birkin has never been portrayed as a good person or father, he's never came across as just plain evil like he does in here. One thing this game excels at is the graphics and Set/Level design. Being originally released on the Gamecube, the character models don't look the best, However the backgrounds are created by HQ photo imaging slapped on static joined 3d models leading to the game looking really really nice for a RE title even at the time on the GC. And the Rooms are all pretty memorable and flow nicely together as you're solving the mansions puzzles. In the end, this game is frustrating and skippable but a solid Survival horror title. If you need to scratch that itch of S/H,this game is for you. If you're a massive RE fan and want to consume every bit of RE Games and lore, this game is for you. If you're somewhat interested in the story or more casually consume RE media, You probably won't be missing much a 5 minute youtube video can't recap.

Billy is a real chad. The game is fun and frustrating at the same time, and I hope that the remake will make it better

I hate Billy and it’s true that the most interesting environment is in the train at the very beginning but I still think this is a pretty good time (at least on easy mode) and I thought Rebecca was adorable so that kind of balanced things out. Only kind of though. But yeah; good game though I’d definitely recommend playing re1 remake before this one.

This will be my first 'not recommended' review. You should just skip Resident Evil 0. The plot is wacky and lacks cohesion with Resident Evil 1, the enemies are annoyingly difficult (the leech men and those chimps especially), the lack of of an item box is a deservingly vocal issue because lugging around stuff and dropping them at random places is an unnecessary time-waster, and the rudimentary AI of your partner (or just braindead) is also quite a hassle to manage. On the other hand, I still like the classic gameplay and atmosphere of RE it still brings, the graphics/artstyle still holds up pretty well, and the soundtrack sits among the best of the franchise imo. Unless you want to simp for Rebecca (like I would), this one is skippable. If you still insist on getting the game, just buy it on sale.

Hardcore Resident Evil Game. just play hard mode for the true experience

Honestly, this game is incredibly underrated in my opinion. The story is interesting, the puzzles are not too dificult but not too easy either, the weapons all have their own feel to them. The only criticism I have is that the voice acting is a bit silly but it just adds to the game's cheezy charm. Highly recommended.

I didn't like it. My main issue was the back tracking due to not having an item box. I don't dislike back tracking in any RE game, but in this one is just way too annoying, having to leave items on the ground and going back and forth to get them. I ended up using the safe rooms as my item box. I thought I'd get used to it after a few hours, but I didn't. The puzzles are some of the worst and most boring puzzles ever. The story isn't great and Billy is just a boring character. Hated him from start to end. For what was supposed to be a prequel to RE1, the game is just boring and mediocre. (Rebecca is one of my fav characters in the series though <3)

very cool game, i like billy, real chad. game is tedious at the benginning, but you get used to it and like it! very good for the first chronological game of the resident evil franchise! 2002 all the way!

2/10 Standalone 7/10 With this mod -> https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil0biohazard0hdremaster/mods/39?tab=description Yes, it is as bad as you think it is without it, you have to leave items on the ground instead of just saving them in the box, you like backtracking? this game loves backtracking. Your choice, but don't play it blind on hard, it's not one of those games. Very forgettable, plot is pretty much a nothing burger and i don't recall the events being mentioned in other RE games, feel free skip it unless you're a die hard completionist for RE, you're not missing out on much, just play RE1 Remake.
